Anytime you use awt graphics you need a X server running, being Xvfb or
one tied to a graphics card. The server resources are needed even if your
output is a BufferedImage.
Xvfb is very easy to set up. It seems to me that it uses less
resources (memory) than a real X server.
On that topic, at least for RH6.2, remember to put the URW fonts first
in the fontpath (-fp) for Xvfb.
